.: Right People, Opportunity, and Compensation

http://thewedgeedge.blogspot.com/2012/12/right-people-opportunity-and.html

Thursday, December 6, 2012. Right People, Opportunity, and Compensation. If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings—and put compensation as a carrier behind it—you almost don't have to manage them." - Jack Welch-. I'd add that this means giving your people the tools and target, getting out of their way, and clearly showing the rewards for winning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your email address:.

.: What Thing Are You Going To Do Today?

http://thewedgeedge.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-thing-are-you-going-to-do-today.html

Monday, December 17, 2012. What Thing Are You Going To Do Today? Principal at Swiss Avenue Partners and founder of SBEIA (Small Business Economic Impact Alliance) sent me a follow-up note after a recent meeting, and on the back of the note was one of the most high-impact quotes I've ever read by Paulo Coelho. Cuelho is a popular writer most noted for The Alchemist. One day you'll wake up. And there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now.

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. When Did We Stop Selling? When did we stop making price the only issue? When did we stop listing out the ways our product or service saves time? When did we stop listing out the ways our product or service saves money? When did we stop researching our customer's needs to the point that we know their needs better than they do? When did we stop researching our competitors to reveal their weaknesses and our strengths? When did we stop taking time to package our proposal?

Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Is The Customer Always Right? No But you want them to feel that way. Some people that are part of great organizations sometimes act like the customer is on one side of the wall and the employees are on the other. They're not paying attention to the rules". Watch out or they'll take advantage of us". Why do we lose sight of that at times? Do we really understand what our customers need? The customer is not always right. But you want them to feel that way. Links to this post.

Sunday, March 4, 2012. If You Help Enough People Get What They Want. You'll get everything you want. That's a quote from Zig Ziglar. But how many put it to work? If a leader has worked with her team to set up goals which meet organizational objectives- its' likely that in a culture of achievement- the team members would also be hitting their goals- which are ideally tied to compensation, advancement, recognition, or development opportunities. Its just that simple. Links to this post.

.: Level 5 Leadership

http://thewedgeedge.blogspot.com/2012/12/level-5-leadership.html

Sunday, December 9, 2012. In Good to Great. Jim Collins described Level 5 Leadership as "building enduring greatness through a blend of personal humility and professional will." The ego needs of the leader are shifted away from herself and onto the greater good of the company. This isn't to say the ego isn't present- it is, but the focus is on that of the organization- not the leader. Where do you stand? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your email address:.

Friday, April 27, 2012. GiveWhat You Expect (or Need). I call it the mirror effect. It's the principal that states:. 1 What you aren't getting and want.is what you need to give. 2 And what you get and don't want.is likely what you're giving. 3 And what you want most over anything else.is exactly what you need to give. This has implications for personal relationships. And the same principal of "the mirror effect" is just as applicable to business relationships. Links to this post. Thursday, April 26, 2012.

.: Driving the Message

http://thewedgeedge.blogspot.com/2012/12/driving-message.html

Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Assuming that your top management team is meeting weekly or monthly, the next key to driving communication and messaging throughout your company is to meet with your "extended management" team at least quarterly. Here is where you share safety issues, financial performance, and progress against objectives. This is all part of the "rhythm" required to make a company run at it's best.

Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Your Meeting of the Year. When are you going to have your best meeting of the year? I may have already had mine the day before yesterday. I set out in 2013 with the goal of more coffee and lunch meetings with more creative people to network, brainstorm, and gain ideas from to help kickstart the year. And my meeting with Nicholas McGill. An acquaintance I've not seen for several years, ended up providing me with more value and inspiration than I ever imagined. When will be your.
